Fraoch - Heather Ale

Described by the brewers as the original craft ale. Having been brewed for c. 4,000 years it has to be a contender for this title!

It is a departure from my usual style of brew as it truly is an ale, which means I should rename the blog Bitterstrom... But meh!

Key difference is that the hops are gone and Heather flowers are in. The result is a pale ale with light treacle smell, and distinctive floral malty taste which is frankly lovely on this spring evening.

It is almost honeyed....And really rather lovely.

So Slainte....
